The figure holding the copper stick was reflected on the wall, observing the movement in the aisle outside the door, and then quietly walked back to his original position and sat down, listening to the sound of rain outside the window. .

The rain curtain hangs under the eaves of the second floor.

Looking at the figure by the window, Yelu Hongyu was silent for a moment and then said: "What do you want to do...I can't control it, but I'm just curious about how you made these evil ghosts...should I say this weird plague? Being able to bite... is a bit rare."

"...Actually...our family was a little shocked when we saw the scene here with our own eyes." Bai Ning closed the window to block out the cold night breeze, turned around, and Sun Zai immediately poured him a cup of tea, like a The obedient student sat up straight again.

"Mad dog disease...plague..." Bai Ning took a sip of tea, wet it unconsciously and made two marks on the table. He twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled helplessly, "There are so many corpses outside Bianliang City. When people die, they die. You can burn or bury them, but our family feels that since they are dead, they must be unjust, so it is better to let them be more valuable after death. These corpses are collected by our family and raised for rats. , mad dogs, and then put them into the Kingdom of Jin..."

Sun, who was sitting there, no longer shuddered.

The voice on the other side continued: "It's just... I discovered that these diseases... some are different from what I thought. Maybe... the two were mixed together to produce some kind of disease, causing the current situation."

"Lesions?" The woman was a little confused, "Then what kind of situation do you imagine? I'm afraid it's also littered with corpses."

"Almost..." Bai Ning took a sip of tea and nodded, "A lesion is roughly two things mixed together, and a new thing is inadvertently produced. It may become good or worse. At present, Datong Prefecture has generally become worse... Contrary to previous thoughts, the plague spreads. Although some people will die, it will not spread even more. Now the disease has begun to spread to Huangtou, and then go forward. It's Fengshengzhou, not far from Shangjing..."

"Isn't it what you want?"

Sun no longer nodded in agreement: "Yes, wouldn't the Jurchens be held back by this?"

Bai Ning squeezed the tea cup, and his expression gradually changed from indifferent to serious: "... It's hard to have too much luck with this kind of thing. If this disease becomes more terrible, it won't be enough to cover the entire north, and it will go south. ,what to do?"

The night wind howled outside, raindrops pattered on the paper windows, and the room suddenly fell silent.

His chest rose and fell, and he let out a heavy breath. Sun stopped combing his hair and rested his head on the copper stick in his arms: "Now that everything is done... don't think so much. What if this thing happens?" It spreads and slowly disappears."

"It's also possible." Bai Ning nodded, then shook his head, "... Let's talk about it later, Xia Futian, after all, the epidemic outbreak period is the most ferocious during that period. If the Jurchens can withstand it, That means it’s not as powerful as I imagined.”

Yelu Hongyu clenched her fists and rubbed her eyebrows. She suddenly felt that her head was a little messed up. These words coming from the other party's mouth made her really overwhelmed for a while.

"No wonder you said it was a narrow escape from death. It seems that the narrow escape is not necessarily in the palace, but in this epidemic, right." The woman put down her hand and looked over, "Actually, there is no need for you to agree to my promise. You won't really see it. Are you having sex with me?"

Next to him, Sun no longer held the stick, turned his face to the side, and curled his lips.

"I came here for other reasons." Bai Ning also stared at the other person's eyes, but did not answer the nonsense words.

After a while, he stood up and walked around.

"After the backbone of the Jurchens passed away, there were some successors. Wanyan Zonghan, who escaped the disaster, was a handsome man in both civil and military affairs. The eldest son of the emperor, Wanyan Zongqian, showed outstanding talent in government affairs. The second prince, Wanyan Zongwang, was in the military, at least no one among his peers could match him. And, there is even a Wanyan Sect, if these powers are integrated, they can still be invincible, but in my Wu Dynasty?"

The two people sitting quietly looked at the moving figures. They wanted to speak, but found that they could not interrupt.

"...The one who ascends the throne now is Wanyan Sheng. This man and his brother are also masters of great talents and strategies. But the reason why Wanyan Aguda let him succeed instead of his son is that the world is not peaceful yet, and Wu must still be needed. He begged to buy such a person to sit in the Kingdom of Jin. Secondly, he was worried about his two sons... Both of them are talented and intelligent people. They can be united externally, but they are brothers fighting against each other internally. "

Yelu Hongyu looked at him, "So this is the reason why you want to kill the Emperor of Jin."

Bai Ning nodded.

"...No matter how severe the epidemic is, it is ultimately beyond my control, so you and I are here to provide this second guarantee. Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has been the most terrifying, with brother killing brother, father and son killing each other, etc., and this The strength of the two of them is actually evenly matched. No one will be convinced by whoever takes this position. As long as Wu Qiubian dies, the brotherhood between the two will never be renewed." Bai Ning walked up to the woman and stared at the other's face. The voice became cold: "At this point, I have informed you of the entire plan. The next thing must be done."

Yelu Hongyu stared back proudly, "You don't need to teach me this. It's just that you are too cunning, and I don't know if what you said is true."

She paused again: "... But all the way here, you should try not to talk and let me speak. Of course you can trust my words."

"Why?"

"Your accent... I can tell you are from the south as soon as I hear it. It would be strange if others don't suspect it." Yelu Hongyu took a breath, stood up and prepared to leave, "Okay, it's late at night, and we have to travel tomorrow. I'm going back to my room, and I'll ask the store owner to prepare more dry food tomorrow, as there are very few people in Fengshengzhou from here."

After saying that, she opened the door and left. Sun Zhong also bowed his hands to Bai Ning and said goodbye and went back to the room.Bai Ning took out a breath and opened the wooden window, and a cold wind came in and blew on his face.

Then he stood there for a long time.

……

Early the next morning, the three of them were on the road again, heading to Linhuang Mansion (Shangjing).

*************************************************

Go to Beijing and enter the Jinluan Palace.

On the dragon chair, a majestic and broad figure leaned against the chair's backrest, his thick palm gently tapping the dragon's head on the armrest.He looked at the two quarreling figures under the imperial steps with slightly closed eyes.

"... Do you know that Yin Keshu in the west fought several times with those barbarians on the grassland... At this time, you want me to withdraw my troops? No more over there?"

"No! We need rice and food everywhere now... We need repairs everywhere, and we will have to destroy all the property we made in the first place..."

"Then go south again. You prepare a month's supply of food and grass for me. I will leave and go south to grab a batch for you."

"It's unreasonable... You, you, you." The older figure stepped back angrily, turned around and raised his hands to the emperor who was sitting firmly in the palace: "Your Majesty... you should stabilize the domestic situation now, right? But the second brother, he I have always wanted to fight... The army is wasting money and food outside, how many people have to feed... Before we fight, half of it will be lost on the road."

Sitting on the dragon chair, patting his fingers gently, Wu Qimai nodded: "It makes sense."

"His Majesty!"

Wanyan Zongwang also came over, unfurled his cloak, and said: "What kind of barbarians are there in the west? My nephew knows very well that these people can even give away their own women to sleep with others. If we are asked to give in, they will definitely go further..." Since I, the Jurchen, started fighting, have I ever given in?"

"Is that true?" On the imperial steps, the emperor responded calmly.

"But..." The voice above suddenly paused, and his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened. The tall figure stood up from the dragon chair, and his voice was raised and roared at the two of them: "This Jinluan Palace... is not your backyard. How can two dominant figures quarrel like women?"

He raised his finger and pointed outside the palace door.

"Go outside, and whoever wins the battle will come in. This is the Jurchen."
